Our light and medium coloured sheepskins have successfully gained the independent Oeko-Tex ‘Confidence in Textiles’ standard in Class 1.
For our darker shades, we repurpose discoloured sheepskin by using dyes which meet all but one Oeko-Tex requirement. So, while we actively explore alternative methods to achieve full Oeko-Tex certification for these variants, you can still be assured that they’re produced safely and to the highest international standards.
Our tannery is a member of SEDEX (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange) and is audited annually for compliance with SMETA ethical trade standards (SEDEX Members Ethical Trade Audit). SEDEX is a not-for-profit organisation that helps businesses promote ethical supply chains.
Wilson & Dorset is an approved license holder of the Woolmark quality assurance logo across all of our sheepskin products. Woolmark is the global authority on wool, representing a genuine commitment between woolgrowers, brands, and consumers. They ensure the authenticity and superior quality of wool and woollen products.
Our tannery is an ISO 9001:2015 certified supplier which means that they have met the requirements of the ISO 9001 quality management system standard. This certification shows that they have effective quality management processes to consistently deliver products/services that meet customer needs and comply with regulations. ISO 9001:2015 covers customer satisfaction, continuous improvement, risk management, and employee involvement in achieving quality goals.
We conduct annual chemical and performance testing on our products using Intertek Laboratories to ensure the high quality of our sheepskins. Chemical testing at Intertek Laboratories helps us to guarantee that our products are free from any pesticide residues, traces of formaldehyde, heavy metals, and AZO dyestuffs.
